Patterns or no?

I've been using EQ since EQ ran on MOS DOS and the newsletter was mailed by snail mail, so I don't know how easy it will be for someone just starting but it is very user friendly if you follow the beginner steps. I get the upgrade price when a new version comes available. It's not something you will use every day but any version of EQ will give you hours of design fun.

I do both, I uses patterns sometimes and others I either use a picture I like to make it up as I go, depends on the mood I am in. It really depends on you whether one way is easier for you, and what you are looking for. Most of the mistakes that I make when doing my own is the way the seams are pressed, of course I hit the same issue if I make to many changes to the pattern that I am using. even using a pattern I tend to draft out some things, it makes it easier to follow for me
I have used the Dear jane software which is done by the same company and for the most part if you know how to run a basic program it isn't to hard to do, they also have step by step instructions for those that are good at using them,
